Incorrect. I've stated several times that I WANT CD to
be superior in every way, and that's the truth. They
are more convenient, more readily available, and there
is more music (my main interest) available in print. I
listen to CDs a great deal more than I listen to LPs and
I own many more CDs than I do LPs. Further, I think
that the average CD sounds better in just about every
way to the average LP. I would have to be an idiot to
not CDs to sound better. And, I'm a believer in science
and I understand that the science as we presently
understand it tells us that CDs should sound better than
all LPs.

To explain slightly, a CD and decent CD player will give
an exact rendition of the material recorded on that CD.
Philips and Sony made sure the parameters were up to this
when launching the first domestic system capable of
giving 'studio' quality. But it can't make up for a poor
quality master tape or whatever - it just reproduces that
warts and all.

The core of the misunderstanding by the golden ears is that they've never
heard a mic feed with a good system. They actually believe that most of the
life gets sucked out of the music further on down the production chain.
